• The banana should be sliced evenly to get a nice crispier chips.
• Fry one layer of slices in the oil,don't add add too many slices,otherwise the chips won't cook properly and get crispy.
• Instead of using coconut oil any cooking oil can be used,for the flavor 2tbs of coconut oil can be added along with the oil.
• If you want to spice up sprinkle some chilly powder or black pepper powder after drained it from the oil.
• Do not peel the skin with the peeler and don't reuse the oil,it will be salty.
